  • the communication method may further include: when performing data transmission with an external device, performing, by the second baseband processor, the data transmission by using a channel (for example, the first channel, or the first channel and the second channel) connected to the first baseband processor. Details are similar to the step of performing, by the first baseband processor, the data transmission by using the channel of the second baseband processor. For example, when the second baseband processor transmits data by using the third channel, the second baseband processor transmits the data by using the first channel and the third channel if the first channel is idle.

  • the first baseband processor and the second baseband processor each are provided with channels that are configured to transmit data and support 3G or later-generation access capabilities, two SIM cards can simultaneously perform services of 3G or later generations. Further, when performing data transmission by using the channels connected to the first baseband processor, the first baseband processor may use an idle channel connected to the second baseband processor to perform the data transmission. That is, the first baseband processor can dynamically configure the channels connected to the first baseband processor and the second baseband processor, so as to improve usage of the antennas and increase a data transmission rate.
